EDWARD STILL WORKERS’ KING, . SIMMS LEARNS
‘But for Grace of God He Would Be Crowned Today’
(Editorial, Page 14) By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Times Foreign Editor WESTMINSTER ABBEY, London, May 12.—This is one of the strangest coronations in -British history. It is a coronation with a ghost. Below me, princes, dukes, marquesses, earls and other peers of the realm are repeating after George VI: “I do become your liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship; and faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks.” Around me the pick of the world’s press are dropping into a cable chute their minute-by-minute descriptions of George's’ crowning. Seven thousand others, packed within this ancient pile, are looking on, while outside in the streets of London and throughout the empire and the rest of the world people are listening in. Yet in this Abbey, and wherever the name of George is being pronounced, there is talk of the ghost of Edward VIII. They Think of Windsor Uppermost in the minds of those
outside, is the ract that beyond these thick walls, over in France, undergoing at this moment nobody knows what emotions, is one who but for the grace of God—or an American woman, as you will— would now be standing where George stands, receiving the homage that George is receiving. At dawn this Horning, on the way to the abbey, I stopped to make a telephone call. The phone girl said, "Please excuse it if I am cross.” “Why are you cross?” I asked. The coronation crowds, she replied, had ‘“‘pushed her about” and made her late for work. But, she said, she “wouldn’t mind it so much if it had been Edward.” That is typical of the working class. The ghost of Edward is especially vivid to them. Fact or fiction, to them he is still “the workingman'’s King.” - But the specter is scarcely less in evidence among the middle and upper classes. These are loud in praise of George—almost as if trying to convince themselves, as well as the rest of the world—but deep in their hearts they still regret what might have been. An Element of Resentment

nothing about him. But in fairness to George it must be said that he is” fast winning popular sympathy. He is not strong. He has been laboring under physical disabilities. But, thrown new job suddenly and unexpectedly, he has been a good soldier. He has shown plenty of grit. Where his brother quit because he didn’t like the job, George is courageously tackling whatever comes to hand, and doing it with a smile.

When the London festivities end in a few days, the Duke will emerge from seclusion and announce in detail the plans for his wedding, which is now almost certain to take place im the first days of June, with an intimate reception for a few close friends. |
It was doubtful whether the royal
family would be represented. The wedding will occur in the Loire Valley, where the castle is situated— a valley cldsely associated in history with the love affairs of the Kings of France and linked also with the British monarchy. Tradition says that Mary, Queen of Scots spent the happiest moments of her tragic life with the Dauphin at Chenonceaux, about 30 miles from Cande. Historic Scene

The Duke expected to listen to his brother's speech tonight, after which he hoped to see a motion picture of the coronation filmed especially for him. The picture was to be rushed here by airplane.
BACKER OF EDWARD
SAVED FROM CROWD
By United Press LONDON, May 12.—Police rescued a giant Edward VIII demonstrator from a dense crowd in Whitehall Place today. The man wore a service uniform with a Union Jack on his back. Over the Union Jack was superimposed a photograph of the Duke of WindSOT. He shouted: “Welsh Nationalists do not forget. England rejoices while King Edward VIII remains in exile.”

| THRILL OF LIVES | AT CORONATION
Mary Reproves Margaret for Fidgeting During Ceremony.
By United Press WESTMINSTER ABBEY, LONDON, May 12. —Wide-eyed with wonder and excitement, the little Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose got the thrill of their lives from the coronation ceremonies today. Eleven-year-old Princess Elizabeth, who may some day be queen, and her 6-year-old sister were peeping through the window of their nursery at Buckingham Palace as early as midnight (Indianapolis Time). They smiled and waved when the crowds recognized them, because they had to be ready shortly
I for their trip to the Abbey.
They breakfasted together, and after a short visit with their father hurried back to the nursery to don their royal robes and coronets. In the great state coach which bore them down the Mall and Whitehall to the Abbey, the little girls were almost lost.” Margaret Rose, especially, was so small that her blond head could scarcely be seen above the bottom of the glass windows.

low before her she waved familiarly and continued on inside. For Margaret Rose, particularly, the long and complicated ceremony was a strain at times, and Queen Mary, who sat near her, was seen on several occasions reproving the little girl with a glance as she obviously was trying to devise ways of amusing herself.

sat dignified and erect, holding the
train of her robe over her arm, but Margaret Rose was perched on the edge of her chair, swinging her legs. She was much too small to touch the floor with her toes. From time to time she scratched her hair with a little nervous gesture. She squirmed a bit and tried unsuccessfully to start a conversation with her grandmother Queen Mary. At one point, when the Queen Mother's attention was elsewhere, Elizabeth appeared to take her young sister in hand and by severe glances tried to convey the idea that she ought. to concentrate on what was going on. Margaret Rose's form of amusement at that moment was counting the people opposite her. as the ceremony proceeded, how-

ever, the children became thoroughly absorbed in the glittering scepters and crowns and in the mysterious ritual itself. Just before the ceremonies ended, Queen Mary gave Princess Margaret Rose a pair of opera glasses, to the latter's obvious satisfaction, so that she could watch the crowds better as her coach moved away. Their coronets gave them trouble fluring the six-mile procession. That of Margaret Rose seemed a bit big and came down to her ears, and she could be seen adjusting it from time to time. However, in that she was no worse than the grownups, for they likewise had coronet trouble and had to make frequent adjustments. It was with obvious relief that at last the children were able to remove the coronets. They appeared in the highest of spirits when they replied, with their parents and the other members of the Royal Family, to the cheers of the throng from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
